Chapter 10: Can We Talk?

When the group got back together that evening, Julie and Portman came together, kissed hello like normal, and stood in an awkward quiet for a few minutes.

"Can we talk?" She said quietly.

"Sure," he nodded, "Come on," they walked away from the group and found a bench that overlooked the man made lake at the center of the resort. "Look about last night,"

"Right," she said. "At least we want to talk about the same thing."

"Do you regret it?" He said.

"Why do you?" She snapped her head over.

"No!" He said quickly, "No, not at all. But just you were so weird this morning."

"I know," she said. He had noticed, and Connie had been right.

"So, do you?" He asked again quietly.

"No," she said, "no, I mean, I just, I don't feel any different." He smiled, and looked down. "What?"

"What did you expect to feel like Cat?" He laughed. "I told you, it's not going to change anything. Except that I'll probably be slightly less frustrated with you."

"I know but," she said, starting to laugh herself, "I expected, don't know what I expected, but something. It sounds stupid,"

"It doesn't sound stupid," he smiled and kissed her softly. "I'm sorry I laughed at you. I'm just relieved, I've been worried all day."

"What were you worried about?" She said.

"That you'd think you chose wrong," he said quietly, "I mean, I'm no prize Julie, and"

"How can you say that?" She said, "You're amazing. And I absolutely do not think I chose wrong. I was worried that you'd think you wasted way too much time on this stupid little virgin who doesn't even know that you're supposed to take a shower with your boyfriend the morning after you have sex!"

"What?" He laughed. "Julie, I wanted to take a shower with you so that I could look at you naked again, it had nothing to do with," he stopped, "Connie and Aimee right?" She nodded. He let out a joking sigh, "Those two put ideas into your head, never listen to them again, you hear me?"

"You look beautiful," Luis smiled, kissing Aimee, she sighed, "Aimee, what's wrong? Things have been really off this week, don't think I haven't noticed."

"There's something I need to tell you," she sighed, taking his hands and guiding him away from everyone, sitting down on a stoop. He looked at her curiously, "Luis, yesterday, I got that promotion."

"Baby that's great!" He kissed her, "I'm so proud of you. Hey, you said this frees up time right? I've been thinking, maybe we could go down to Miami for a few days,"

"Luis!" She cut him off, "I'm not done, can I finish?" He nodded, "When I found out, I wanted to share it with someone, and I, I went to Derek, I don't know why, I just did and we were both so excited and I don't know how it happened, but we kissed." Luis stared at her stunned. "And this morning, I wasn't at breakfast, I was rehearsing, with him."

"What kind of kiss?" He asked, "Like we're friends oh my god yay! Peck kind of kiss? Or was it like a kiss kiss?"

"Like a kiss kiss," she sighed.

"You kissed him," Luis asked, "or he kissed you?"

"We sort of kissed each other," she said sheepishly.

"But last night," he said, "we were together last night, why didn't you tell me last night?"

"Things were so good," she explained, "I didn't want to ruin it. And then this morning, I don't know, I just, I didn't want to deal with it, so I lied."

"I need some time on this one Aimee," he shook his head, "OK? I mean, you told me that he was nothing to you, but that was right after you kissed him, and I just, what if it happens again?"

"It's not going to happen again," She said, "It won't, I won't let it. Luis, I love you."

"I don't want you to see him," He said shortly.

"Excuse me?" She cocked her head to the side, "I don't think that's your decision, besides the fact that we work together."

"Obviously I don't mean with work," he snapped. "I mean the carpooling and the hanging out after work."

"Derek is my friend Luis," she said, "I'm not going to not be friends with him because you're jealous! What if I told you to stop being friends with Connie and Julie?"

"It's different," he shook his head, "I've never kissed Connie or Julie, I've never had a crush on Connie or Julie. Well, Connie actually when the ducks first got together, but that's only because I caught her checking me out once." He smirked, and then shook his head remembering what they were talking about, "Anyway, it's different."

"You know what," she stood up, "I'm going to give you that time you asked for." She shook her head and walked away.

Charlie walked with a smile up to Layla, who was dressed in a light pink sundress, the breeze blowing through her soft blonde hair. She smiled back, with the mysterious half smirk that had drawn him to her. Everything she did had a playful bounce to it, he was completely and utterly fascinated, wanting to find out everything about her, but she gave so little away.

"Hi," she said, as he kissed her hello.

"Hi," he whispered. "And may I add wow?"

"Thanks," she laughed, looking down shyly. "I just wanted to look nice, to say good bye."

"You know what sucks about meeting someone on vacation?" He shook his head, "Is that whole goodbye thing. I mean, I could go temporarily insane, like Luis and move to New Jersey."

"That wouldn't do much," she shook her head, "I'm going to college in Boston in the fall, so,"

"Boston?" He stopped.

"Yeah," she sighed, "Emerson, my dad's threw a shit fit about it, he wants to make sure I don't change my religion."

"Change your religion?" He asked.

"Start rooting for the Red Sox," She laughed, "We're four generations of Yankee fans, so,"

"Um Layla," He cut her off, "I got to BU." She smiled. "Did you know that?"

"No," she laughed, "I only know your name because of the Goodwill Games. I didn't realize that," She kissed him hard, "So I'll see you in August?"

"I have your number," he laughed. "Until then though?"

"Well," she smiled and kissed him again, "We still have tonight."

"Why don't we meet girls down here?" Averman turned to the left over guys. "I mean Luis meets the love of his life down here, Charlie's at least getting laid by some hot blonde, what does it take?"

"Girls with names from rock songs," Fulton pointed out. Everyone looked at him. "Come on you didn't notice that? Aimee's a Pure Prairie League song and Layla's Derek and the Dominos."

"I thought Eric Clapton sang Layla," Russ said confused.

"Eric Clapton is the lead singer of Derek and the Dominos," Adam nodded, the guys snickered taken by surprise that Banks had this knowledge. "What? I wear Polo shirts so I can't know who Derek and the Dominos are?" They all started laughing. "It is weird, about the names though." Luis sulked back over to the group.

"What's going on man?" Kenny said.

"I'm not sure," he sighed sitting down with them, "She made out with Prince Charming."

"Huh?" They all said.

"This ass hole she works with," he groaned, "I don't know, at least she told me, I guess, it's stupid."

"I guess those two are OK," Fulton smiled seeing Julie and Portman walk back over holding hands, as though nothing had changed.

"What are you all staring at?" Julie said pulling her hand out of Portman's.

"That white tee shirt you got on there Cat Lady?" Goldberg smirked, "You still allowed to wear that?"

"Are you still allowed to wear my fist on your face Goldberg?" Julie teased back playfully.

"Fair enough," He nodded, he'd been at the receiving end of Julie's beatings before. "Hey, any one seen Charlie?"

"Mmm," Layla cooed, under Charlie pulling away from a kiss, he started moving down her neck, "You're really good at this."

"I try," He laughed, "You know, I don't even know your last name."

"Loughlin," She said, schrunching her nose in disgust. He snickered.

"Your name is Layla Loughlin?" He kissed her again.

"Yes," she nodded. "Now, do you want to discuss the fact that your name is also alliterated, Charlie Conway, or do you want to continue making out with me?"

"Hmm," he nodded and kissed her, making her giggle, "That's a tough decision."
